Park Nature / Park Must See
Strolling around Vaca Brava Park you will be struck by the contrasting colors of your surroundings. A small green forest filled with an abundance of native flora and home to many small animals, surrounds a large dark blue lake with a fountain at its center. The peaceful atmosphere is a welcome relief from the city, which you can see looming on the park’s periphery. With plans set out in the 1950s, this 79,800 sq m (20 acres) park was to replace a disease-ridden swamp on the site, and it was finally completed in 1996. The locals use the running track and exercise stations, but this place is also perfect for some serious R & R. A couple of hours and a few coconut waters later you will feel completely re-energized. Our Goiania trip site makes visiting Vaca Brava Park and other Goiania attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.

    The Vaca Brava Park as well as the Flamboyant Park also has a good structure, has scooters and bicycles for rent. Good leisure option to spend the day. It is a good leisure option with the family attention to drug users that exists on site, some disguised as sellers.

    The park is in a central location, is very wooded, safe and well frequented. The city needs to improve the maintenance and cleaning of the park and the owners of animals need to learn to take their bags to collect the feces of their animals!!! Citizenship and respect for others thank you!

    Good for sightseeing, good for hiking, exercises, next to a shopping mall, then can have traffic and much movement, but good for running, walking and etc.

    It's a nice park. You can drink coconut water while enjoying the green view. Your kids can play on the grass and you can read a book or rest. But the park is not much safe. Small thefts and even large and violent robberies happen there frequently, despite an ostensible police round.
